FIRST TIME USE
SALT, RINSE AID AND DETERGENT
ADVICE REGARDING THE FIRST TIME USE
After installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the retaining
elastic elements from the upper rack.
FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR
The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and
on the machine’s functional components.
• It is important that the salt reservoir be never empty.
• It is important to set the water hardness.
The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher
(see PRODUCT DESCRIPTION) and should be filled when the SALT
REFILL indicator light
in the control panel is lit.
1.Remove the lower rack and unscrew the
reservoir cap (anticlockwise).
2.Position the funnel
(see figure)
and fill the salt
reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg);
it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.
3.Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue
away from the opening.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get
into the container during the wash program (this could damage the
water softener beyond repair).
Whenever you need to add salt, we recommend carrying out the
procedure before the washing cycle is started.
SETTING THE WATER HARDNESS
To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential that
the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hardness in
your house. This information can be obtained from your local water
supplier.
The factory setting is for average (3) water hardness.
1. Switch on the appliance by pressing the
ON/OFF
button.
2. Switch off the appliance by pressing the
ON/OFF
button.
3. Hold down button
START/PAUSE
for 5 seconds, until you hear a beep.
4. Switch on the appliance by pressing the
ON/OFF
button.
5. The current selection level number and the salt indicator light both flash.
6.
Press button
P
to select the desired hardness level
(see Water Hardness Table).
7. Switch off the appliance by pressing the
ON/OFF
button.
Setting is complete!
As soon as this procedure is complete, run a program without loading.
Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers.
After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL
indicator light switches off.
If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating
element may be damaged as a result.
FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dispenser B should
be filled when the RINSE AID REFILL indicator light
in the control
panel is lit.
1. Open the dispenser by turning the cap
A
in an anticlockwise
direction.
2. Carefully introduce the rinse aid as far as the maximum (110 ml)
reference notch of the filling space - avoid spilling it. If this happens,
clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.
3. Screw the cap back on.
NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the tub.
ADJUSTING THE DOSAGE OF RINSE AID
If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you can adjust the
quantity of rinse aid used.
Turn the adjuster
C
.
The factory setting is for a medium level.
• If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (1-3).
• If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set a high number (5-6).

button,
because it adjusts the program so that the best washing and drying results are
always achieved.
